Arty up in hurr!

SO besides music and fashion I like things that RELATE to music and fashion. I'm not an art-head by any means, but I gotta say these two artists peek my interest. Welcome to my ideals of art, simple and unique.

Parra
My first artistic offering comes from French artist and fashion designer Parra. Parra is coupled with Rockwell clothing and Lele. Le Le features Parra on both it's album artwork and music videos. (I highly recommend Breakfast)Parra pushes the borders of vulgarity featuring cartoonish characters performing the sexually deprived and the simply bizarre. I'm not sure what my attraction to Parra is possibly my Freudian fixation on sex, but if I had the money I would gladly buy one of the pictures. For now however I'll have to settle for a T-shirt.
Parra
Bonne Nuit!

WEKILLYOU
WKY is a Toronto based art company that I have the pleasure of discussing. WKY focuses mainly on simplicity and mass appeal, WKY is marketed for those who collect vinyl toys or enjoy small figurines. Besides art and figurines WKY sells apparel and skate and surf gear featuring their logo.(scary face)I haven't mentioned WKY's connection to music yet, their connection is a close friendship with The Carps WKY has designed Jahmal's(Drummer)kick drum and the bands logo Tees. IF you don't have the money for Parra or are looking to support LOCAL TALENT I definitely suggest WEKILLYOU

Hope you all enjoyed my latest art picks hopefully I'll find something new and exciting to keep ya'll reading until then
PEACE

Supra Skytop Fall Release

Supra Skytops have made a huge splash in 08 after recieving the Lil'Wayne stamp of approval, continuing into 09 Supra releases the fall colourways for the skytops the fall series features a cracked leather black and white model and a West Indian inspired offering.

The black while offering a worn feel don't leave much to the imagination, Supra has released more than it's fair share of black skytops and by adding a beat up shoe to the equation one must ask themselves before buying"Why don't I just skate the shit out of the skytops I have right now?" However if you're looking for a durable shoe to wear with your black skinny jeans and Extra small hot topic tee's this would be it. (Not judging, just saying)

The rasta-top as I like to call it takes shiny to another level, which appeals to any flashy thug walking the streets. Not much could be said beyond the obvious for this shoe besides the fact that unless you're carrying the African flag around everywhere...WHAT ARE YOU MATCHING THESE WITH???

Bottom line
Save your money ladies and gents The TK Society are a better buy and if you have more patience than that wait for the upcoming Skytop 2

Toronto's own THUNDERHEIST

Okay so Thunderheist is a Canadian electro duo and they releast the video for their single "Nothing 2 step 2" which is totally awesome I love the minimalist appeal of it, it's simple yet fun. My point however isn't that you should watch the video, the point is that you need to go see them live. I was on youtube when I came across a flawless live version of Nothing 2 Step 2 the gigantic beer mugs in the performance or Isis wearing a pork pie hat probably swayed my judgment but still SO GOOD

VIDEO


LIVE

Supra Thunder High

I kinda dig this shoe reminds me of a Nike blazer only more minimalist, my only beef with Supra is that the elastic band behind the tongue gets twisted easily which causes discomfort. But setting my personal bias aside I recommend you wait for the white colourway to drop black looks kinda dirty
